I'm about to file our taxes and I am going over the medical expenses section. DH has A LOT of money taken out of each paycheck for insurance, but is this actual insurance premiums that is coming out of his paychecks?

    Yep, if he has medical insurance through his work, they are taking deductions for insurance premiums.  If he has a health care spending account, they are taking for that too.

    So can we claim that? I think it was taken out pre-tax.

    a lot of times insurance comes out pre-tax. In which case, I'm 90% sure you can't claim them.

    look on the check, is the "federal taxable income" lower than the gross?  or does it star the deductions and note them as "pre-tax"?

    I can't tell from his return, but DH says he 100% sure they are taken out pre-tax. Boo :( Oh well, now I can go ahead and file!  Thanks for the help ladies!
